Stunned by Scripture

Is the Bible Sufficient?

Is the Bible alone sufficient as the sole source of doctrinal authority? In this episode of Stunned by Scripture, Dr. John Bergsma introduces us to the teaching of sola Scriptura, what it means, and how to refute it. Join John as he breaks down why sola Scriptura is itself an ironic teaching, how to use 2 Tim 3:16 and other verses to refute sola Scriptura, and the other two sources of authority explicitly mentioned in Scripture. This episode will arm you with the responses you need to engage intelligently in the sola Scriptura debate. ✨ Join our Easter Challenge ➡️ https://stpaulcenter.com/easter [https://stpaulcenter.com/easter] ___ Other ways to grow with the St. Paul Center: ⛪️ If you're a Priest looking to attend one of our annual Priest Conferences: https://stpaulcenter.co/priestconferences [https://stpaulcenter.co/priestconferences] 📖 Start a Bible study with the St. Paul Center: https://stpaulcenter.co/biblestudies [https://stpaulcenter.co/biblestudies] ✈️ Go on a pilgrimage with us: https://stpaulcenter.co/pilgrimages [https://stpaulcenter.co/pilgrimages] 🛒 Browse our bookstore: https://stpaulcenter.co/emmausroadpublishing [https://stpaulcenter.co/emmausroadpublishing] 🔥 Support our mission: https://stpaulcenter.co/donate [https://stpaulcenter.co/donate] ___ Follow the St. Paul Center on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stpaulcenter?igsh=anloZXB4dDdjcHI1&utm_source=qr [https://www.instagram.com/stpaulcenter?igsh=anloZXB4dDdjcHI1&utm_source=qr] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/177cb1WMS5/?mibextid=wwXIfr [https://www.facebook.com/share/177cb1WMS5/?mibextid=wwXIfr] X/Twitter: https://x.com/saintpaulcenter?s=21&t=8_4yim_uMnTcaKXDbGGuVQ [https://x.com/saintpaulcenter?s=21&t=8_4yim_uMnTcaKXDbGGuVQ] #stpaulcenter #johnbergsma #stunnedbyscripture #solascriptura #protestantism #catholicism #scripture #christianity

In this episode of Stunned by Scripture, Dr. John Bergsma dismantles the “many worlds theory” (multiverse), demonstrating how it is rooted not in science and sound philosophy but in atheistic ideology. Join John as he unpacks the science, logic (or illogic), and fallacies behind the multiverse theory. Tune in to discover a truly Catholic and scientific response to this flawed theory.

The Truth About Spiritual Warfare | Fr. Louis Merosne

In this episode of Stunned by Scripture, Fr. Louis Merosne joins Dr. Bergsma to discuss the role of Scripture in combating the demonic. Fr. Merosne offers practical guidance on how Catholics can use Scripture to resist temptation and live in the victory Christ has won. He also highlights the importance of memorizing Scripture for spiritual warfare. When the devil tempted Jesus in the desert, the Lord rebuked him with Scripture (Mt 4). In doing so, Christ models spiritual combat for us, wielding the Word as the sword of the Spirit (Eph 6:17). They also discuss how the Sacrament of Confession fits into spiritual warfare. Confession is more than admitting wrongdoing. It is a spiritual battle in which grace brings freedom and healing. ✨ Join the largest group Bible Study in America—Bible Across America ➡️ https://stpaulcenter.com/america [https://stpaulcenter.com/america] ✨ Learn to accompany authentically, faithfully, and confidently.

Faith & Philosophy | Dr. Logan Gage

If Scripture alone is the ultimate authority, how do we know which books belong in Scripture? For many Protestants, this question raises a deeper issue: the canon of Scripture. In this episode of Stunned by Scripture, Dr. John Bergsma sits down with Dr. Logan Gage, Professor of Philosophy at Franciscan University of Steubenville. Dr. Gage shares his intellectual journey from evangelical Christianity into the Catholic Church. They furthermore discuss the biblical canon, Church tradition and authority, and why a philosopher still needs Scripture. Join Dr. Bergsma and Dr. Gage for this crash course on theology and philosophy in this episode of Stunned by Scripture. ✨ Join the largest group Bible Study in America—Bible Across America ➡️ https://stpaulcenter.com/america [https://stpaulcenter.com/america] ___ Other ways to grow with the St. Paul Center: ⛪️ If you're a Priest looking to attend one of our annual Priest Conferences: https://stpaulcenter.co/priestconferences [https://stpaulcenter.co/priestconferences] 📖 Start a Bible study with the St. Paul Center: https://stpaulcenter.co/biblestudies [https://stpaulcenter.co/biblestudies] ✈️ Go on a pilgrimage with us: https://stpaulcenter.co/pilgrimages [https://stpaulcenter.co/pilgrimages] 🛒 Browse our bookstore: https://stpaulcenter.co/emmausroadpublishing [https://stpaulcenter.co/emmausroadpublishing] 🔥 Support our mission: https://stpaulcenter.co/donate [https://stpaulcenter.co/donate] ___ Follow the St. Paul Center on Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stpaulcenter?igsh=anloZXB4dDdjcHI1&utm_source=qr [https://www.instagram.com/stpaulcenter?igsh=anloZXB4dDdjcHI1&utm_source=qr] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/177cb1WMS5/?mibextid=wwXIfr [https://www.facebook.com/share/177cb1WMS5/?mibextid=wwXIfr] X/Twitter: https://x.com/saintpaulcenter?s=21&t=8_4yim_uMnTcaKXDbGGuVQ [https://x.com/saintpaulcenter?s=21&t=8_4yim_uMnTcaKXDbGGuVQ] #stpaulcenter #johnbergsma #stunnedbyscripture #drlogangage #theology #philosophy
